Unukalhai and the poisoned Borneo elephants


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia –  Ten endangered Borneo pygmy elephants have been found dead in a Malaysian forest under mysterious circumstances, and wildlife officials said Tuesday that they probably were poisoned. Carcasses of the baby-faced elephants were found near each other over the past three weeks at the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve, said Laurentius Ambu, director of the wildlife department in Malaysia's Sabah state on Borneo island. In one case, officers rescued a 3-month-old calf that was trying to wake its dead mother. Poisoning appeared to be the likely cause, but officials have not determined whether it was intentional, said Sabah Environmental minister Masidi Manjun.



We start by looking at the 13th November 2012 eclipse chart at Gunung Rara.  Notice that the eclipse is very significantly placed on the Ascendant conjunct  Unukalhai -a pale yellow star situated on the neck of the Serpent. Sometimes called Cor Serpentis, the Serpent's Heart (a snake's heart is located in its neck). According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Saturn and Mars.  It is associated with violence and danger of poison. [Robson*, p.213.]. Readers might like to refer to a previous post where the same eclipse is associated with ‘poisons’[1].




Progressing the chart to 23th January 2013, the date on which photos were released by Sabah Wildlife Department[2] we find that the progressed MC is conjunct  the eclipse Sun – triggering the meaning of the eclipse and the star. The progressed IC of the chart is in Bharani nakshatra of Vedic astrology, the symbol for which is an elephant!The eclipse  forms hard aspects to the current Uranus-Pluto square – this could be a reference to sudden events (Uranus) involving poisonous substances (Hades) that contribute to the end (Pluto) of a species.
